Quest for the Healthy Metagame: Balancing Cards in 'Clash Royale'
Gameplay balancing is a fundamental design challenge in any multiplayer game. Persistent and continuously changing multiplayer games that evolve over the course of several years are particularly challenging to keep in a balanced state. However, that is an essential part of providing a good experience for the players.

In his talk he'll share lessons learned from successes and failures that the team encountered both pre-launch and through the first year of the game being live.
